Pod is not starting

Problem

You get the output error nrk8s-kubelet pod is not starting when you follow the guided installation.

Solution

This error indicates that the Kubernetes kubelet pod can't be started within 5 minutes, and the installation script fails due to this timeout.

In this case, you can run this command to see the pod's status and restarts:

$
kubectl get pods -o wide -n newrelic | grep nrk8s-kubelet

Check the following:

• If the pod is in ImagePullBackOff status, please check your network connection to allow image pulling from the right domains.

• If the pod is in Pending or ContainerCreating status, please run these commands to find out the possible reasons from the debug logs:

  bash

  Copy

  $
  kubectl logs newrelic-bundle-nrk8s-kubelet-n newrelic
  $
  kubectl logs newrelic-bundle-nrk8s-kubelet-n newrelic -c kubelet
